2016 draft prospects connected to Seahawks

Sudden and shifty, Braverman seems like a natural fit as a slot receiver in the NFL after catching 108 passes for 1,367 yards and 13 touchdowns in his junior season with the Broncos. At 5-foot-10 and 177 pounds, he's on the small side. He seems likely to go in the draft's later rounds or sign as a priority free agent after coming out early. Braverman visited the Seahawks on April 12.

At Clemson's March 10 pro day, Brooks told reporters he planned to visit Seattle in April, and he did just that on April 13. A little-used reserve for most of his college career, Brooks has good size (6-foot, 199 pounds) and decent speed (running a 4.49-second 40-yard dash at pro day). The 23-year-old completed his degree requirements and will reportedly pursue a career in interior design if football doesn't work out.

The former Gator has been mentioned anywhere from the draft's top 20 picks to the third round. That might be because, at 6-foot-3 and 285 pounds, he's a bit of a tweener, which could scare off some teams. The Seahawks appear to be one of several organizations reportedly interested in taking a closer look, however, due to his versatility and athleticism. Don't be surprised to see his name come up again over the next few weeks.

Seattle was just one of Butler's many reported stops this week, with visits also scheduled with Detroit, Tampa Bay and Buffalo. The athletic defender could be in play for the Seahawks' top pick at No. 26 overall after standout performances in the pre-draft evaluation phase, including at February's Senior Bowl. At 6-foot-4 and 323 pounds, NFL.com compares him to Muhammad Wilkerson of the Jets.

Davis is another Senior Bowl standout who is generating a lot of buzz in the weeks leading up to the draft, though unlike Butler, he's likely a second-day pick. It's unclear whether Seattle would be interested in the 6-foot-1, 201-pounder as a cornerback or a safety, but the Seahawks are reportedly one of the 18 teams he'll be meeting with over the next couple of weeks.
